It certainly didn't come across as serious. The GP was obviously talking about whether the code would be used for others' financial gain. Your bringing up the irrelevant topic of racist oppression seems spurious.
So you don't care if your code is used to help track some minority a government hates and wants to exterminate?
Yikes, where did that come from? You hear somebody trip-trapping across your bridge, troll?
Jeez, you're not kidding. Here in Tucson we are served by Comcast and Cox. When I'm looking to change apartments, the areas of the city "served" by Comcast are right off the list. (Satellite at an apartment location here is, sadly, a Bad Idea.)
Well I dunno about other countries, but here in the U.S. they don't advertise (for example) "12Mb" download speeds. They advertise "Up to 12Mb." Asses are covered long before you see any contract.
Then you didn't understand it.
Blockbuster/Netflix isn't installing the spyware. They are the ones being robbed because of spyware you already have on your computer.
What? Is this supposed to mean something? Are you implying that going after websites with malicious ads will eventually lead to the eradication of freedoms? Because that's what the quote you are referring to means. Or are you just trying to be funny? Because you are not.
Other odd statements aside, you ought to know that arrest and citation are not equal. Warrants are generally not issued for traffic citations. (Though they may be issued for failure to pay them, or to appear before a judge/magistrate to challenge them.)
Well to all the whiners who got duped, I'd say the best April Fool's pranks are necessarily plausible. The classic, obviously, being "Your shoes are untied," which is only funny if the person in question actually looks at his or her shoes.
So lighten up. You've been had. Get over it.
Please ignore the previous message. Now I realize why I'd heard of allofmp3.com and never tried it. You can't from the U.S. At least, not easily/legally.
Feeling quite silly now...
Damn, some nerd I am. I'd heard of allofmp3.com but had no idea how great it is. Between that and last.fm I think I've got all the online music I need. (Sorry if this comes off as advertising; it's not meant to be.)
Do these numbers include "free upgrades" to Vista? I bought a PC late last year, which shipped with XP Media Center, but included a free upgrade to Vista upon release. I didn't actually buy Vista (I'm not planning to upgrade any time soon, even) but maybe my license is counted among those "sold."
We already have to deal with intoxicated people operating cars, planes, and other potentially lethal machinery. How much worse would things be if now, in addition to those, you've got people high on ecstasy or marijuana? What about heroin? Would bystander deaths double? Triple? Some of the effects of these drugs make alcohol pale in comparison.
Goodness, the slopes must be very slippery where you live.
I find that going to these messier mechanics, computer shops, and what-have-you also keeps me more productive. Getting an oil change at a BrakeMax requires that I bring reading material and a snack, even with an appointment. I can call Bill's (filthy) Garage and drop by later this afternoon and get it done in fifteen minutes, filters changed and all. Similar experience applies to barbershops, computer/electronics shops, and the like.
And yes, most people would regard my home workspace as a deplorable mess.

Ethically OK? Probably not. Legally OK? Afraid so.

Cosmo-tology humor? :P
Wait a sec, now there's new bad numbers? Oh, 4 8 15 16 23 42, your reign of terror is over!

Here, have some grapes. Careful, they're sour. ^^

Going out on a limb, I'd guess it's news for nerds who smoke pot.

LOL, well I'm not surprised this got modded down, but... how on Earth can something be overrated that hasn't been rated yet?
...Allofmp3 take down YOU. (may god and /. mods forgive me)
